Desi Cartman Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 DUBAI: Dethroned Twenty20 World Champions India have been placed alongside South Africa and a qualifier team in Group C for the next year's third edition of the tournament to be played in the West Indies. Holders Pakistan are in the Group A where they will have to ward off the challenges from Bangladesh and Australia to advance in the event starting April 30, according to the 2010 World Twenty20 Match schedule announced by the International Cricket Council today. Runners up Sri Lanka constitute the Group C with New Zealand and Zimbabwe while the hosts West Indies, England and a second qualifying team will comprise the Group D. The West Indies will play the second qualifying team in the opening match of the biennial event, which is being staged next year immediately after its 2009 England edition to prevent its clash with the 2011 ODI World Cup in the subcontinent.

For the simultaneously played women's event, teams have been divided into two groups, 'A' and 'B'. Semi-finallists India are in Group B with New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Pakistan while England, Australia, the West Indies and South Africa make the Group A. All first round matches of the women's world cup will be played in St Kitts, the ICC statement said. The women's tournament, which will feature 15 matches including semi-finals and the final, start on May 5 with the West Indies eves taking on their South African counterparts. Arch-rivals India and Pakistan will face off on May 8. The women's semi-finals and final will be played on the same days as that of men's. Link to comment
